Front-end developer (React)
Are you passionate about building a user-friendly product with cutting-edge solutions? Would you love to add new features and improve existing ones for our users in short iterations? Easy LMS is looking for a front-end software developer who believes working in a multi-disciplinary team brings the best results. Together with your team, you will improve our SaaS learning management system (LMS) used by more than 2,000 clients worldwide. Join us on our mission to bring effective and accessible e-learning to employees around the world 🚀!
What you’ll do
You will play an important part in one of our autonomous problem-solving teams. A problem-solving team is a mix of front-end and back-end engineers, and implementation consultants. They work closely together to build valuable features for our clients. Participating in a problem-solving team means you will:
- Join feature planning meetings where you discuss how to solve problems from an end-user perspective.
- Write feature solution proposals for the product owner.
- Implement your solution with modern techniques in short cycles of two or four days.
- Code review your team’s work and process their feedback on your work.
- Test whether the feature meets our quality standards before deploying with your team.
You'll be involved in every phase of feature development
As a front-end software developer, you'll be involved in every phase of feature development. You will have a lot of freedom and your personal contributions will play a big part in the final product. You will use our component library/design system, UX criteria, and accessibility guidelines to build a user-friendly and easy-to-understand interface. You will make well-considered choices in techniques and frameworks to deliver both value and quality within the time available.
A day you’ll love
Let's assume you will work from our office:
9:00 Coffee. You start the day by reading up on outstanding Slack messages over an espresso. Then you prepare for stand-up with your problem-solving team.
9:30 Stand-up. Part of the team works remotely, so you join a video call. You discuss what needs to happen to finish the new cookie banner you’ve been working on.
10:00 Check-in with the product owner. Based on your team's suggestions, you adjust your plan. You discuss the changes with the product owner, explain your choices, and the consequences of the changes. Some minor comments, but everything is looking good!
10:30 Focus time. You take some quiet time to code.
12:30 Lunch! We serve an extensive bread lunch with boiled eggs, local cheeses, and biological spreads.
13:00 Focus time. You read a blog and watch a tutorial, both helpful for your current task. You finalize your tests, finish up your front-end work on the cookie banner, then ask your peers for a code review.
15:00 Dev meet. You jump on a video call with all the software engineers for a dev weekly meeting. You talk through some problems that cropped up the past week, and then have an interesting discussion about writing better React code. Interesting learning opportunities!
16:00 Deployment. You process the feedback on your PRs, and all builds are passing. The implementation is done. Time for QA and deployment with your team!
17:00 Code review. You finish up your day by providing feedback on a team member’s code. You’re looking forward to starting work on a new feature tomorrow!
This is where you’ll see yourself
